Looking for the paring button that comes with the E46 Bluetooth retrofit kit. This is part number 84 13 0 302 715. Its a small button with a "talking face" on it that would normally be mounted in the center console. Some that have added the retrofit kit might have hidden this button in the center console.

BMW says this part is no longer available. I purchased a kit from BimmerNav that included a substitute push-button. My 2000 323i doesn't have the "talking face" button on my steering wheel, so while the Bluetooth system works fine, I can't use the voice recognition features without digging into the console and using this small push-button. I don't want a cheap looking bright red push button sticking out of my console, so I'm trying to find the console button that originally came with the BMW kit.

If anyone has this button and doesn't need it, I would be happy to buy it. Or if anyone doesn't use the pairing button (hiding it in the console for example) and doesn't care if they have a small red button (that works fine) for the few times they use it and might want to do a swap with some cash, I would be most appreciative.
